It is not clear to me that the changes needed to the yum man page are an RFE as oppose to a documentation "error" in that the current description implies different operation (at least to some individuals) than what yum really implements.
Well as pointed out, the 'all' in yum clean all does not reference repositories, rather cache items. So all does exactly what it is supposed to do, cleans all the cache items. The clean action itself is what acts upon active repositories. It stands to reason that the documentation on the clean action could use an enhancement to mention that it works only on existing/enabled repositories.
